Rocca d'Anfo: Latin for 'ancient fortress', rising above Lake Idro

Literally standing on the walls of Rocca d'Anfo, you'll have a view of history. No cameras required.

Situated on the eastern slope of Mount Censo, Rocca d'Anfo is a Venetian stronghold that has stood over Lake Idro for nearly six centuries. First constructed by the Venetian Republic, it was later expanded under Napoleon. Now, it draws visitors who climb its walls for a unique, unretouched glimpse of history.
